It’s just easier to say/type by using “we”

This pisses me off when people say “We” when referring to an NFL or college football team. If you went to school there, I’m OK with it. If it’s an NFL team and you never played for them, don’t say “we”!


Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man!

Fans technically own the Green Bay Packers. So they could be we. Boom lawyered.

If youre an avid fan I see no problem with it and I actually say it myself. I'm a die hard though. It does irk me when non-serious bandwagon fans say "we" though.

Because if the Queen song was called They are the Champions, it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I only say We just to piss people like you off. Thank you for the positive reinforcement.

Doesn't bother me, unless it's a situation where they say "We" when the team wins, and "They" when they lose.

Well if you think about it, these teams would be nothing without fans.

You say that, but bama "fans' never showed up for my sport, yet we existed.

First time I ever heard this was from a Nascar fan. I think she was a jeff gordan? fan. Everything she said about his racing was "We". Actually, I was kind of impressed....dedication.

What if someone worked for the team at one point? Can they say "we" then?


Hmmmmmmmmm
